[SIZE=18pt]HELLO MODERATORS: Can we please have this information PINNED as well? [/SIZE]
We've been recieving several inquiries of folks hoping for guidance to help them cope in their grief for the Garrison Family. Some are adult, and some are youth members here.
TO ALL YOUTH MEMBERS, we ask that you PLEASE, talk with your parents, LET THEM KNOW what you are going through. Give them a chance to help you and be there for you as they most likely would only hope to be, as your parents who LOVE YOU and want to help protect you from your grief. We will help however we can as well, through our Chaplain Advisory services available, but we ask that you PLEASE give your family this opportunity first and formost. GOD BLESS AND BE WITH!
INFO POSTED EARLIER IN ANOTHER THREAD:
I just wanted to quickly advise for any who may wish to seek Pastoral Support to help with families grieving through this, we have Chaplains available through our foundation at:
http://www.howsmallfoundation.org/BOD.htm
Then just click on the email link to our IHSF Chaplain Director, Pastor Weldon Stockwell. Pastor Stockwell is one of the founding members of CHHA (Christian Harness Horsemans Association), and if further needed, he can help put families in contact with local Pastoral Support as well.
At this time, I would also like to say, that if anyone out there would like to volunteer as an IHSF Chaplain with us, we’d be forever grateful to however you can help. PLEASE contact me as soon as possible, if you can volunteer or know of someone who can. We would need your Letter of Interest and disclosure of credentials, so that our Board of Directors can review along with our IHSF Chaplain Director for pre-approval of your volunteer tenure.
ANY and ALL Faith based Chaplains are WELCOME and ENCOURAGED to volunteer in this capacity. However, please understand that we are a Christian Faith Based organization, and our Chaplain Director, Pastor Stockwell is as well. But, by no means does this mean that we are not open to the diversities of faith, as we realize that everyone must grieve in their own way of beliefs and faiths.
That is why we are in great need of Chaplain Volunteers of all Faith Based capacities, so that we can strive TOGETHER to help families who are in great need of guidance through their times of great trials such as this.
Volunteering as a Chaplain of your faith will help us to be able to further provide spiritual guidance to those who are in need and seek such of help.
THANK YOU & GOD BLESS YOU, to any who could help in this regard, and through our many other avenues of efforts for this family and others in future need.
In Christ’s Love & Mercy,
